>Companies could offer these as a return to office incentive

So an office full of people with VR headsets on? I don't see the incentive in that compared to doing it from home.

I watch a lot of Grady's videos and there's a comment I've always wanted to make but I don't leave comments on YouTube. I'm going to leave that comment here: it would be great if he spent more time going over the models that he builds and really showing what they're representing. Show it from different angles, show it in slow motion; really explain what's happening and what we're seeing. Note: I haven't watched this particular video yet.

He clearly spends a lot of time building high quality small-scale versions of things to show how they work, but more often than not he just shows those things while the voiceover isn't actually talking about what's being shown. Or when he is talking about the thing being shown, it's a very brief comment and then he moves on.

I love his videos, but I very often finish them and think "I could have learned more if he spent some more time explaining in detail what's happening with the model, and replaying some component of it several times over as he explains it in more detail."

What is Blind? I tried searching various things but just keep getting results for accessibility.

Complete guess here but I would suspect that means some items are made in Germany and some are made in China or elsewhere (meaning, even the same model may be produced in both locations). If they are printing "MADE IN GERMANY" directly on it then it will be obvious which ones aren't, because they would lack the print. And that would likely degrade the perceived quality of those not made in Germany vs those that are. And Sennheiser doesn't want you to think that some of their items are built with better quality than others.

Of course, people can look at the fine-print and determine where it was made. But that's a lot less obvious than the silk screened badge not being there.

Or it shows that he's open and honest. And that's definitely someone I would want on my team.

Unless something has changed recently that I'm unaware of, that definitely isn't currently possibly on Android itself. I assume it won't be possible using the Windows-version of the Amazon AppStore either. But maybe this will cause the devs to start pushing to make that a thing.

I'm not saying this is a reason to do it, but the part of the model that isn't broken is that people love it. The consumers are benefiting.

I laughed, but also stopped reading at

>if you're from IT — well, it would be like learning the alphabet once again. Probably you won't find anything new; if you do, that is a bad sign for your employer.

But after seeing a few other positive comments about it I decided to go back and give it a read, and I'm so glad I did. Great article.

VSCode is by far the lightest Electron app I've ever used. I currently have a decent sized repo open, with a good number of plugins, and it's using 0% CPU and 12MB ram on Windows (and I haven't restarted the app in probably 2 days).

Teams on the other hand... that's a hog.

This website seems to have version 2 which includes that text on page 11. You can scroll down and read it without downloading it.

Google translate of the first tweet (in German):

> Extreme nightcap in the #network frequency. Quite unusual at this height and at this point in time. One of my measuring devices even shows 49.74Hz as a minimum. Has a major #power plant failed somewhere?

And second tweet:

>Here is another representation of the # mains frequency from just now. Extremely unusual, as a malfunction is to be suspected. Unfortunately, none of my network analyzers are currently running to check the exact course.

Below is the majority of the post, before it gets in to all the links and such, run through SMMRY[0] set to only use 7 sentences (92% reduction). It obviously doesn't tell the full story, but it isn't bad for a tl;dnr.

My name is Maxim and I'm an independent game developer.

With millions of downloads it is definitely my most successful game so far, and that's thanks to a very active fan base which I'm very grateful to have.

It's really cool to see people play the game in front of your eyes.

You evaluate behavior - are they passionate gamers? Or rather cold business people.

You check out their game - it looks like a copy of a popular game you know.

The answer So as with many other people who offered to buy the game - you politely decline.

How come? How come a copycat can use the name of the original game? You guessed it... trademarks.

Just curious: What is the benefit/reason for the readfile shortcode for displaying code snippets as opposed to just pasting the code in and using the typical syntax highlighting?

I suppose if the actual source file changes then the page would be updated as well which is neat, but if you're specifying certain lines to read from then that could easily become a problem.

Considering how few shortcodes you're using I just felt like there must be a good reason to use it in this way and I was curious why.

Good to know. Thanks.

One of the local news stations uses them on their website. They have a tiny "continue without supporting us" link that blends in nicely with the text around it. The weird thing is I always see that link while my wife never does. I don't mean she can't find it; it simply isn't there. This is using Chrome on Android. No root or anything special. Doesn't matter if her phone is on wifi or mobile. On the other hand, I see that link every time. It's been that way for about a year and I have never been able to figure it out -- although admittedly, I haven't tried that hard.

Do you mean this: https://github.com/sindresorhus/css-in-readme-like-wat/blame... ?

I don't have any experience with them but I went to the pricing section on their website[0] and was greeted with very large all-caps text:

PRICING: WHY PAY FOR WHAT YOU DON’T USE?

PAY FOR THE COMPUTE AND STORAGE YOU ACTUALLY USE.

I found that pretty funny given the problem you're running in to.

Thanks for making this public. That's a fantastic use case that I hadn't considered.

Looked at one record as an example and sure enough, the same meeting ID and password is found in 709 different cases in Cleveland, OH.

That article (and others) say it's because "Google hired only the most talented engineers, he thought that extra layer of supervision was not just unnecessary but also an impediment. He also suspected that Google’s project managers were steering engineers away from working on projects that were personally important to him. For example, Page had outlined a plan to scan all the world’s books and make them searchable online, but somehow no one was working on it. Page blamed the project managers."

>To me it presents as disillusionment or polemic rather than somebody losing their mind.

You're very right, that's a better way to phrase it.

>Glad I found it on here

I completely agree. I feel like it could be a great catalyst to a lot of good conversation which is why I was ultimately glad it was on here and that I read it, even though at first I found it strange. It made me feel a way that I can't exactly explain or put it in to words; and I consider that to be a good thing.

I found this post to be incredibly confusing and thought provoking at the same time. I wanted to say it doesn't belong on the front page of HN (and that it kind of feels like it was written by a person losing their mind), but the more I read the more I thought. I don't have anything to add, I'm really just curious to see comments from others.

The problem with your first and third examples is that it leaves it open and vulnerable to anyone other than the NSA. Like if a "backdoor" is left open for encryption, as soon as it's discovered then that door is open to anyone.

The problem with your second example, targeting a specific user, is that they're doing this without any kind of warrant.

I used to manage VoIP systems and VoIPBL[0] was amazing.

"VoIPBL is a distributed VoIP blacklist that is aimed to protects against VoIP Fraud and minimizing abuse for network that have publicly accessible PBX's"

It's very similar to what you linked but is targeted to catching VoIP abuse.

It does. Here is Maps + Location [0]. And here is Google Home + Mic [1]. I just picked 2 random google services that seemed like they would rely on location (Maps) and microphone (Home).

I personally think they do actually track things, but I would guess the postal workers are held to some kind of metric for delivery times. I think if they know they don't have the time to actually deliver your package then they'll often mark it as delivered when it hasn't been, then they just deliver it the next day. In your case it sounds like maybe your package got lost somewhere in the truck after they had already marked it as delivered.

This is all speculation based on my experiences with USPS.

FYI I'm currently getting ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED / "mssv.net unexpectedly closed the connection" when trying to read the article.

Edit: Working as expected now but I grabbed a screenshot if you want it for any reason. Not that it would be much help now.
